બેઠક Bethak

ગાંધી ઔર લુહારકી, દેખો બૈઠ દુકાન.

gāṁdhī aura luhārakī, dēkhō baiṭha dukāna.

Literally
Look at the shops of a perfumer and a blacksmith.
What it means
The company you keep shapes your environment, just as sitting in a perfumer's shop brings fragrance while a blacksmith's shop brings soot and heat.
